We reported last week that the average Mortgage loan interest rate for a single family home had risen to 4.66%, the highest in five years and an indicator that the cost of financing home purchases is expected to continue to increase. The average price of a home in the U.S., according to U.S. Bureau of the Census and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and reported by the Federal Reserve, is at a fifty year high of $374,700. 

Meanwhile, Attom Data Solutions reported U.S. Foreclosure Activity Decreased 19 Percent in Q1 2018 to stay below Pre-Recession levels for sixth consecutive quarter.
